VC 15000 Mega Capstan | Vessels 57-75m (187-246ft)
Built for vessels between 57 and 75 metres (187-246ft), the VC 15000 combines Muir’s precision engineering with the heavy-duty capacity today’s superyachts and large commercial vessels demand. Usually mounted on the aft deck or amidships, it handles mooring and docking lines with remote control or foot switch operation for hands-free use.
Rated to a maximum pull of 6818kg, the VC 15000 delivers a continuous pull of up to 3900kg on the hydraulic variant (3180kg on the 50Hz AC drive), with retrieval speeds up to 20m/min. It’s available in 50Hz AC, 60Hz AC or hydraulic drive configurations, giving specifiers flexibility to match the capstan to the vessel’s onboard power system.
As with the rest of Muir’s Mega Line, the VC 15000 is designed and manufactured in Australia to ISO9001 standards, built to perform in the demanding environments the superyacht and commercial marine industry requires.

Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
Our Muir capstans and windlasses have served us well over the years
“Our Muir capstans and windlasses have served us well over the years, and will continue to do so for a long time to come. Give me plenty of good chain and the right gear to handle it, every time” (in reference to a stormy night at sea)
Why I really like Muir winch and anchor gear
“There are a number of reasons why I really like Muir winch and anchor gear. When we were cray fishing, then drop lining, the muir gear is simple to operate, no matter what the sea conditions are”
Which can all of a sudden be the last bit of hope of surviving
“The fact that Muir always keeps the focus on their main business, being anchor systems, gives me the confidence that my customers can rely on that ‘shiny thing on the foredeck’ which can all of a sudden be the last bit of hope of surviving”
